About The Wine

Sigurd White Blend 2023 is a vibrant South Australian white that brings together freshness, texture and aromatic lift in a beautifully modern style. The blend combines Semillon, Vermentino, Viognier and Muscat of Alexandria, with limited skin contact helping build extra shape and interest across the palate. It is bright, expressive and easy to enjoy, while still offering plenty of detail and complexity.

Halliday Wine Companion - 94 Points

70/20/7/3% semillon/vermentino/viognier/muscat of Alexandria. From the organic Bassham vineyard in the Riverland and Lionwill Estate in Vine Vale. This is a compelling blend of grapes and methods, with some skin contact and both solo and co-ferments. A bright, light gold with a faint haze. It’s both salty and textural, with peach iced tea, grapefruit, white cherry, lime pickle, jalapeño, coriander seed, wild grasses, tangerine peel, fresh bay leaf and an appealing lacto-ferment pickle-like prickle. Faintly slippery, tensioned with alert acidity and citric pithiness; this packs a lot of flavour, and a lot of appeal, at modest alcohol. Delightful. Marcus Ellis

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Lychee, white peach and a pinch of nutmeg.

Palate: Bright spring and summer fruit with lovely texture and freshness, supported by gentle skin-contact character from the Muscat and Viognier.

Finish: Fresh, layered and persistent, with excellent length and an elegant, textural close.

Serving Suggestions

Serve well chilled with grilled prawns, white fish, roast chicken, lighter pasta dishes or a simple antipasto spread.

About the Winery / Producer / Region

Cellaring Potential

Drinking beautifully now for its freshness and aromatic lift, with enough texture and balance to develop nicely over the short to medium term. The 2023 release is noted as a wine that will age gracefully under good conditions.
